Sparkling Lavender Lemonade
With the heat of the summer upon us, there is nothing more refreshing than a fruity drink; my favorite being this sparkling lavender lemonade!
This year, Ramadan is in the mist of that summer heat and I have partnered with my friends at the Cozy Home Chronicles. To share some of our favorite fruity drinks! We kept the recipes simple, but really delicious and with a few garnishes, very beautiful!
Today, was my first pop-up shop with my baking company, Butter Bear Shop and I sincerely want to thank everyone who came out and purchased some cookies, lemon bars, cinnamon rolls, breads and of course my Baklava Cheesecake! It was so great meeting so many of you in person and sharing my treats!
There will definitely be more events soon. I always share on Instagram so be sure to follow me there to stay up to date <3
